The Allure of Jaco, Costa Rica: Your Gateway to Adventure
Before we delve into the specifics of Casa Ponte, let’s set the scene with its stunning location. Jaco is a bustling beach town on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, renowned for its golden sands, world-class surfing waves, and lush rainforests that teem with wildlife. Just a short 90-minute drive from San Jose’s international airport, Jaco strikes an ideal balance between accessibility and seclusion. Here, you can wake up to the sound of howler monkeys, spend your days zip-lining through the canopy or fishing in the nearby Los Sueños Marina (just 15 minutes away), and end with vibrant nightlife in town—think casinos, bars, and international cuisine all within a 5-7 minute taxi ride from the property.
What sets Jaco apart is its “Pura Vida” vibe: a laid-back lifestyle that encourages you to unplug and immerse yourself in nature. From rainforest adventures at Neo Fauna to shopping at Jacó Walk Shopping Center, the area is packed with activities for all ages. And with Casa Ponte perched in the hills overlooking the jungle, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views while being conveniently close to the action.
